The perfect fruit slot machines for your double five-a-day

Sweeeeet fruit slot machines

Fruit slot machines got here first and they’re still as sweet as ever. They came from Chicago in 1907 (lemons, plums and cherries if you must know) and have been top of the slots ever since.

Why are fruit slots are so popular? No one knows. Perhaps in 50 years it’ll be meaty slots. Or vegan slots (“Money back on Quinoa Quest, win or lose!”). But until that day, it’s cherries all the way.

And it doesn’t matter if you’re a kiwi, a kumquat and or a crusty old coconut, you’ll find something juicy at OJO’s place. And coz we know you’re busy bees, here’s our Top 10 Fruit Slot Machines.

10 Slots that make us fruity loopy

We’ve scoured over 150 slots at PlayOJO and peeled back the skins to uncover our ten fruity favourites. Let the juice-off begin!

Fruit Party

A new entry this year from Pragmatic Play, Fruit Party is a cluster game, so no reels here. Match 5 symbols in a block by connecting them horizontally or vertically to win some dough. Like most cluster games, this one has Tumbling Reels – winning symbols disappear and the ones above tumble down to create extra win sequences.

The game applies random 2x multipliers to any winning symbol too, which means you could land up to 256x on a single game. It’s also got a Free Spins feature with multipliers and retriggers galore, plus a 5000x top prize.

And best of all? Insanely catchy Euro-pop-steel-drum intro track with a beat that never drops. Go spin it and see!

Pip for pip, Fruit Party is one of the best fruit slots in 2020.

Fruit rating: 4 – Glad the strawberry’s getting its dues

Fruit Blox

Freshly picked in 2018, this is Red Tiger getting in on the Megaways™-style action with their Connected Ways mechanic.

With 6,144 Ways up your sleeve, it’s no wonder you could bag up to 10,000 times your stake. Hit a Mega Tile for bigger wins, and connected Mega Tiles for a cheeky 2x multiplier. Its Free Spins game with random selected wilds tops off a humble, tasty cocktail.

Fruit rating: 3 – Simple fruit with style

Cash Fruits Plus

You wouldn’t believe this retro 5-liner from Merkur was born in 2017, but it’s one that gets sweeter with age. No bells or whistles here, just paytable wins and wilds, plus one of the best fruit slots RTP. Who needs free spins anyway?

Fruit in the name, fruit on the reels, fruit everywhere you go. But they’re pipped for Most Valuable Symbol by their nemesis, the Red Seven. We feel your pain, worthy blackberry.

The soundtrack to the gamble feature is Kraftwerk-level genius though. Plump for the ladder version, crank the volume to 11 and feel some classic fruit slots fun.

Fruit rating: 2 – Basic supplies. Peel ‘em sloe.

Ninja Fruits

Another fruit machine slot game that’s stayed fresh out of the fridge, this 15-line beauty from Play’n GO sure doesn’t look like it came from 2013. The game is packed with juicy features including Free Spins, expanding wilds and a must-play picker bonus game.

The Ninja Fruits slot brings some welcome Asian flavor to the fruit slot machine genre. Geishas, wise old man, ninjas, throwing stars, pineapples. A cult movie in the making! Ninja Fruits also has great animations that take it to the next level with sliced-up winning symols and falling cherry blossom just some of the small but special details.

Respectable choice of fruit symbols from Play’n GO, but we can’t help but feel they’ve missed a trick. Perfect moment for the lychee to make its slot debut!

Fruit rating: 4 – Pineapple stars in fab slot machine fruit cocktail.

Laser Fruit

A second entry in our fruity five for Red Tiger who smash payline records with this electric effort. Reels starts with 243 Ways that can rise to over 60 million ways (60,466,176 to be precise) thanks to the expanding reels feature.

Laser Fruit also has a Free Spins feature where expanding reels are sticky throughout the bonus rounds, and you can retrigger the feature up to 10 times too.

Symbols are a timeless salad of classic fruits, bars, bells and sevens but check out the style! Our favourite take on fruit symbols for sure. You can try this absolute peach for free too.

Fruit rating: 5 – Classic fruits get a late-night vibe

Fruit Shop 

This 15 Ways slot machine sits comfortably inside the top 100 UK slots. Although it stars some iconic fruit symbols – lemons, watermelons, cherries, oranges and plums – this game feels quite different to the classic slot copycats you’ll see elsewhere in our top 10. 

The bright and breezy cartoon vibe is refreshing change, as is the soundtrack and the ease with which you can trigger the Free Spins bonus (2 cherries will bag you a single Free Spin). 

It was deemed worthy of a Megaways version, and if you want to play Christmas slots with a fruity flavour, there’s a festive version too.

Fruit rating: 4 – Those cherries are doing some heavy lifting.

Jammin’ Jars 

A classic 8×8 grid game from Push Gaming which uses the Cluster Pays mechanic. It looks and plays more like a mobile app, with winning symbols disappearing and allowing those above to drop down to create cascading wins. 

Unlike most other slots in this list, this game is a pure fruit slot with no other non-fruit symbols at all. Look out for Free Spins with multipliers, plus triple-sized mega symbols that might appear randomly after losing spins. 

The original version of this game has a 20,000x max win but the 2021 sequel squeezes more juice out of this popular title with a 50,000 max win. 

Fruit rating: 5 – Pure fruit, no fillers, just juicy chaos.

Twin Spin 

NetEnt’s classic Twin Spin fruit machine is a 243 line slot that pays both ways. It’s got cherries, bells, lucky sevens and a nice retro feel, plus an unusual bonus feature. 

On any base game spin, 2 adjacent reels can spin together and land the same symbols. They can also expand to create up to 5 new reels too for big wi potential. 

I’m not sure if it’s the features or the design but whatever has got fruit slot fans going, it’s kept this 2013 release in the top 30 UK slots for years. With a 38,000x top prize, it’s worth checking out the newer Megaways version too.

Fruit rating: 4 – Cherries, sevens, and just enough retro juice to stay fresh.

777 Strike 

Red Tiger released a true homage to classic fruit slot machines in 2021. Just look at those lemons. Straight out of 1970’s Vegas. It may look like a vintage 10-line slot but this modern casino game is anything but. 

This game is all about the Free Spins bonus game. Land 3 scatters and you’ll trigger 7 Free Spins on Wild-heavy reels, in keeping with the lucky sevens theme. 

Hit 3 special 7 Win Spins symbols to trigger 7 more spins, each with guaranteed wins. For modern fruit slots, this is as authentic as it gets. The paytable above the reels is a nice touch too. 

Reel King Mega 

his classic from Red Tiger Gaming isn’t everyone’s idea of a classic fruit slot, but it’s got cherries and plums, so that’s good enough for us. Based on the legendary Reel King from Inspired Gaming, this 2019 version has a great little Free Spins feature with a 3-reel mini slot, plus a King’s Crown bonus with Wild reel modifiers. 

You wouldn’t imagine a low variance slot with a 500 coin max win could become a cult hit but Reel King Mega slot is a permanent fixture in the UK top 10. In the slots world, no plums get more play than these. 

Fruit rating: 4 – Plums fit for a king, crown included.

FAQs 

Why play fruit slots online at PlayOJO? 

Fruit machines have been popular for decades, and they still give other slot themes like best adventure slots a run for their money. 

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fruit slots? Well we’ve already seen that nostalgia is the key to the popularity of fruit slots, and there’s loads of choice too. 

On the downside, they can feel a little dated and overly simple when it comes to features, but what’s dated to one player is classic to another – whatever floats your boat! 

When you play fruit slots, make sure you’re getting a fair deal too. That means money back on every spin with no strings attached, plus bonuses with no wagering requirements at all. If you can find another casino that also pays all bonus wins in cash with no catch, I’ll feel like a right lemon. 

Can I play fruit slots for free? 

Many of the fruit slots I’ve mentioned have practice modes so you can try them for free. To play fruit slots online, you’ll still need to create an account to ensure only 18 years old or above can play, but once you’ve signed up, pick a slot and look out for the Try For Free option. 

Which fruit slots have the highest RTPs? 

The Classic Fruits slot by 1X2 Gaming has a whopping 97.72% Return To Player, making it one of the juiciest fruit slot machines ever. Another fruit slot in the ninety-seven range is the oddly named Pentagram 500 by Realistic Gaming, a 5 line classic fruit slot with a 97.45% RTP. 

What are the fruit slots to look out for in 2022? 

Fans of fruit slots should make note of Play ‘n GO’s Big Parade, plus Pragmatic’s Fruit Party 2 is also set for a 2021 release. Inspired Gaming’s Super Hot Fruits Megaways should be worth a squeeze too.
